Make Models
Inspiration comes as appreciative thoughts , ideas and wishes . Many dream but masterpieces are a product of those who dare build on ideas . Sketch your thoughts , draw on your ideas , make prototypes then grow them into products or services . There are no superior or inferior ideas ; their power lies in how well they are described and structured to fit into purposeful execution .
Infuse Doubt
Weakness in structure and execution can be a strength when celebrated and not hidden . A smudge on art can be a new form of brush stroke . Discolouration is antique and increases value in many instances . The delicate nature of electronics has given birth to superior packaging formwork and is a billion - dollar industry . The shadows on “ the Mona Lisa ” probably Leonardo Da Vinci ran out of other colours and used more of the black that was available which is what makes it a masterpiece . Focus on what you have rather than what you do not have . This includes a critical analysis of what you perceive as a weak link or mistake in your work of art . God favours acknowledged justified mistakes .
Karate your work
The winning kick and blow is never made in the fight but in solitude and continuous practise . Karate is an art form as much as it is a martial arts discipline . Karate is liquid movement with power , precision and poise . Master your tools , master your skill , master your knowledge , master your weakness and above all master your strength . Art can be done by many but only those who master their art create masterpieces .
Refine the work
Go deeper than the surface . What you consider a finished product or service could be raw material for another piece of
How do artists become ? What inspires them ? Who pays them ? How do they create value ? Who decides the value of their work is a masterpiece ?
art . Build on your models so that the edges are smoothened or roughened to bring out the very best of your work of art .
Frame the work
Have a plan for the work of art . Build with full abandon but then again have a definite start and finish point . A canvas is defined by the stretch and breadth . As much as our innovative spirit loves to work without limits it is well framed within boundaries . Define the space and spread your work of art will cover . Determine a list of materials and components required for the piece of work . Choose the pane and tools you need to complete the art piece . Finally be clear on the timelines - when you intend to start and when you should be done with the product or service . It is prudent then after you have completed the work , frame it , stage it then move to the next ultimate end of any masterpiece which is covered in the next section .
Exhibit
Celebrating the completion of your creative sojourns ’ is vital ; it is a moment of pride and accomplishment . However , the journey does not end there . Framing and staging your work mark just the beginning of its life in the public eye . Seek out opportunities to exhibit your creations in various settings such as events , galleries , and studio exhibitions . These platforms not only showcase your work but also connect you with diverse audiences and perspectives .
Consider inviting a select focus group to evaluate your work critically . Their insights can offer valuable perspectives and constructive criticism that may not be apparent to you . Embrace this feedback as a catalyst for growth and improvement in your artistic journey .
Taking your work to the public domain is equally crucial . Public exhibitions not only expose your creations to a wider audience but also invite feedback and interaction . Embrace both praise and critique with an open mind , using them as stepping stones for refining your artistic vision and techniques .
Moreover , feedback can serve as a compass guiding your new and upcoming projects . It offers insights into what resonates with your audience , helping you shape your future creations in a way that captivates and engages .
In some instances , revisiting and enhancing existing works can be a fruitful pursuit . Reflect on feedback received , analyze areas for improvement , and consider how modifications can elevate the impact and meaning of your creations .
Ultimately , the process of showcasing your work extends beyond private or public presentation ; it is a dynamic dialogue between the artist and audience , depicting a journey of continuous growth and evolution . Embrace each exhibition as an opportunity not just to display but to learn , connect , and refine your artistic expression .
